An announcement on the Warner Bros forums has stated that the remastered collection of Arkham Asylum and City which was planned for next month now no longer has a release date. Batman Return to Arkham was announced in May after a steady stream of leaks but has been delayed to "give the team at Virtuous Games additional time to deliver a polished Batman Arkham game experience."

Given that current gen first release dates are as reliable as the Joker when you bring him in quietly to Arkham Asylum, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that we're going to have to wait a while. This isn't just one game either. Both Rocksteady Bat titles are up for this extra pretty lick of paint and after the issues that befell Arkham Knight on PC last year, it's no wonder that WB are being careful when it comes to the new release. I think we'd always rather get a better game in the end than a buggy mess with eternal patches. That's just not what the Batman deserves. I'll keep you updated. Shine a Bat signal, that kind of thing.

Did you expect that?

Yes, it's WB after all.
Nope.

I'd rather get a new game or even a new IP than all this remastered crap so they can delay it for all eternity as far as I am concerned.

+1. Not like these are 10-20 year old games that are in desperate need of an update.

To tell truth, since it's not for PC, ergo I don't care at all...

And then, I wonder if current-gen will look better than PC+PhysX? I know they move old games to Knight Engine, but that's all I heard/cared about it...

It's not for PC anyway.
Still surprising, unless they're really changing more than some lighting effects and textures (which is really all I expect in a "HD remake" type project).

Then again, if they're porting it over to the engine used for Arkham Knight, which proved somewhat troublesome on consoles too... (Just not nearly as much as the PC launch disaster.)

I wasn't really interested in it, even if it came to PC. I played the first Batman game for the first time just this year and it still looked great and ran well.

Didn't expect it, since I thought that WB would just push it out ASAP.
